Thanks for the reply. I tried to use just the condition message and it did not work. It only aborts installation if it can not find the ini file. This test was to check inside the ini file and read its contents via IniFileSearch. Am I using IniFileSearch correctly. This custom action again gives this error message (2723) even when I do it after InstallInitialize. The installation needs to be aborted if the value does not match. Ansuya
